The percentage of LGBTQ series regulars on broadcast television in the 2019-2020 season has reached a record high of 10.2%, according to’s annual “Where We Are on TV” report,” up from 8.8% in the previous season. That’s 90 out of 879 series regulars on broadcast scripted primetime TV.
This season, there are more on-screen characters who are transgender, bisexual+ and who have HIV/AIDS, but the yearly accounting of LGBTQ representation on TV, now in its 24th year, found that inclusion has not risen uniformly across all TV formats for LGBTQ people of color. The CW once again earned the top spot as the most LGBTQ-inclusive broadcast network, with 15.4% of series regulars identifying as LGBTQ, while Showtime is the most inclusive on cable.

But tv writing in general is at an all-time low. Maybe try prioritizing the writing and let 'representation' come naturally. Quality over quantity.
I feel like if you count screentime, love interests and etc, it's still fairly low because I HAVE NO GOOD GAY SHIPS TO SHIP RN
